----------------------------------------
Eh, amusing episode I guess. We get the bunny girl taking quite the screen time while there's also some action between her and the usual catgirl. Action felt silly tbh this episode though...

Also at this rate, I wonder if each of the animal girls will be featured in this way. And lol, reincarnation.

Uri-tan is alive, thank goodness.

Usa-tan is a cheater, she's stopping time to change her unfavorable outcomes to a favorable one in rock paper scissors to get an upper hand.

Also that world Usa-tan and Nya-tan fought in is pretty much limbo, wtf.

LOL Uri-tan is back, des des! xD I don't care if I shed tears from last week's episode, des des! What matters is that Uri-tan is alive, des des! ヽ(;▽;)ノ

Usa-tan is a Professional Producer! I like how Nyaa-tan's and Usa-tan's battle isn't a physical combat but a game instead. But Moo-tan was absolutely funny in this episode with her perverted tendencies and her Engrish! xD

So we found out which among the Eto-shin are in favor of adding the Cat into the Chinese Zodiac, then the anti group who don't want the Cat in the Chinese Zodiac, and then the "we don't care either way" group. But Moo-tan is in a separate group of her own, lol. xDD "Oh, my God!!"

Oh, for fuck sake. Don't kill a character off and try and make it emotional, only to completely counterract it with "she was reincarnated". What a joke, even for a show like this.

Other than that, everything else was alright, with the battles still being the most interesting thing this show has, especially with the way each battle is different.

Yep, plus it just makes death very cheap.

They could have made it at least that she reincarnates on the next year of the boar, instead of just a few days... Or better yet, not kill her to begin with.

Meh, I'll just take it as senseless comedy from here on.

Wow, didn't expect Uri-tan to get reincarnated O_O I really like Usa-tan! So much fourth wall breaking with talking about their characters ... it's true though I couldn't really remember the other ones that she pointed out :P Interesting idea to turn the dog and monkey into "twin" type characters XD
Nya-tan and Usa-tan's battle was fun to watch (as always, love the transformation sequences!) but I didn't really understand how they were doing it ... just rock paper scissors? What about the "look this way"? I don't get it T_T Her time power was cool though ... and her Alice in Wonderland inspired outfit too :3
Well either way, Nya-tan grabbing her foot (for good luck) was pretty clever :O She won another battle and got a seal! Seems like they might do this every episode. I guess the sheep/ram is next? Well she's got the "nurse" character going for her ... :P

"Des Des" girl is back from the death, which was hardly surprising. This show is too energetic to have character deaths anyways. She reincarnated rather quickly too.

Nya-tan and. Usa-tan's battle in "Acchi Muite Hoi" game was pretty funny. Usa's time power/speed is impressive, almost like Koro-sensei.

Average episode. Not much happened in terms of plot progression this week. Nice eyecatch as always though.

Another enjoyable episode, im loving all the breaking of the fourth wall in this show, and usually i find characters like Nya-Tan really annoying, but there is just something about her that i find really cute and rather endearing :)
This show is turning into a really big guilty pleasure for me! ^^

Uri-tan reincarnated so fast! I'm actually expected this, but why did I feel like I got trolled right now!?

So Usa-tan's power is speed or time freeze? I'm confused.. @.@

Anyway, fun episode again. Good to know that the Etoshin/Etomusume battle not just simply beat the opponent off. It varied in rules as it can also be games, fights, etc.
Though Nya-tan still win the battle by beating up the opponent anyway. x)

Hilarious episode as always. I don't think it's even possible for Nya-tan to become an original character, her character has already overlapped with Tetora from Log Horizon XD

Uri-tan was resurrected as expected (like really, did anyone seriously expect her to stay dead?) but the highlight of the episode has to be this


Benio Moo-tan never failed to make me laugh XD

Uri-tan is back des des >.< Thank god :3 I was already missing the Des des at the start :P

Mo-tan was hilarious as usual esp with her M quirks and her engrish "face and voice" when Usa-tan's erogenous legs were touched making her moan XD

Nyaa-tan was ofc being hilariously cute as usual. I don't know why I'm liking her this much. Usually characters like her are pretty annoying ^^;

Well, they did exactly what some of us expected with the reincarnation(which makes me wonder how many of us said "I KNEW IT", whilst watching.)
The gag for the majority of this episode was Character Exposition.
Everyone (from episode 1 "survey") has a Droll character apparently. (well maybe if some of them showed up more...)
When i saw the whole "who wants a cat chart" was slightly suprised that Uma-tan was in the i "i don't want a cat" side, i mean we've seen Nya mess with the others but i don't remember her messing with Uma(it was probably just to make the gag work)
The "battle" was interesting enough, funny how Usa just lounged around whilst Nya was Frozen.
Overall another good episode

Wow, all the drama about Uri-tan´s death last week and now she´s back in action again. But I don´t mind it, since she´s a funny character.

I´m born in the year of the rabbit, so of course I really enjoyed usa-tan in the center of this week´s episode :3 And interesting "battle".

Moo-tan, priceless as always X3

I think Piyo-tan hatred already explained by Uri-tan in 2nd episode, Nya-tan always teasing Piyo-tan and makes her forgets by tricking her to walk three steps. Piyo-tan doesn't remember the cause of her anguish anymore but the hatred from it piled up in her subconsciousness, lol.

I expected it to go for an episode, not four minutes!

Good episode i guess. All the characters are good. The monkey and the dog remind me of...well, you-know-who. They seem to be created with them in mind.

I think Etotama is the most consistently entertaining of all the series this season, even if it's not the most serious one.

probably my favorite fight of the series. nice alice in wonderland reference. this battle was more mental than the ones before it. nya-tan literally grabbed a rabbit's foot to win, she was grabbing on to good fortune instead of waiting for it. that was some nice symbolism. like the music that was being played, too.

Thank goodness Uri-tan is back. I need my desu desu. In reality, it makes sense that she would come back, but I still don't appreciate being kicked in the balls by thinking she was dead.

Heh, I liked the fight, it was fun.

Nya-tan is surprisingly sweet looking up how to cheer up Takeru. However, she still isn't my favorite. Characters like the rooster and the ram need more screen time.

This show continues to be more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.

I think that must be the first time I've ever actually sought out a spoiler. And if that spoiler hadn't gone the way I wanted, I would have stopped watching this series for sure.

As it is, though, onwards desu desu!

"YAAAAARRRRRHHHH!!! It's Hot! Wait, no it's not?! it's lukewarm!!"

I was just thinking "that helicopter's flying too low. If it really flew like that it would probably crash." And then it did.

Haha yeah that part was pretty funny. This whole episode was goofy (especially when the rooster stepped three feet and forgot everything...I don't see how Usa-tan can say she doesn't have a unique character lol)

Sympathetic narration, although the pace too fast not to do so to characterize the characters (Usa-tan, specifically), he delves into the history, giving just enough time for a SOL very skimpy. Drawings and animations a little subdued at times, characters and situations quite funny. The only complaint I have to be submitted is the fact of not giving enough time for all the characters, the rest may be fine.
